A Warren County teen charged with killing his mother’s live-in boyfriend early Thursday was ordered held in jail without bond on Friday.

Jeremy Blake Bowlin, 18, 3400 U.S. 80, Lot 4, was being held without bond because he was under indictment for grand larceny and burglary charges when the killing occurred, Justice Court Judge Jeff Crevitt said.

On Feb. 13, Bowlin was charged with breaking into a car in the 100 block of Turnberry Drive and also being in possession of a stolen weapon. He was charged with a home burglary April 28.

Blake is accused of killing 25-year-old Timothy Wayne Harmon just before 4 a.m. Thursday in the door of the trailer they shared with Bowlin’s mother, Christine Bowlin, 37.

Warren County investigator Chris Satcher told the court that Bowlin said Harmon had fired at him first.

“The investigation shows no evidence of anyone else shooting,” Satcher said after the hearing.

Bowlin and Harmon started arguing Thursday after Harmon and Christine Bowlin picked Bowlin up from River Region Medical Center. Satcher would not say why Bowlin was at the hospital.

The fight escalated by the time they returned to the trailer, where Bowlin shot Harmon in the doorway of the trailer with a .243-caliber hunting rifle, investigators said.

Hours before Bowlin appeared in court Friday, Sheriff Martin Pace said the hunting rifle and another gun, a 30.06 hunting rifle, found at the trailer had been reported stolen from a deer camp off Mississippi 27 on Dec. 21. Ownership of other weapons found at the scene had not been traced, he said.

Before and after the court hearing Friday, members of both families said the shooting followed an ongoing feud.

Harmon’s mother, Kim Harmon, said, and officials in Livingston Parish, La., confirmed, that Timothy Wayne Harmon was shot in the head by Daniel Chase Bowlin, Jeremy Blake Bowlin’s brother, in June 2009. Daniel Chase Bowlin was scheduled to stand trial on April 19, but did not show up, a spokesman from the Livingston District Attorney’s Office said.

Separately, after the court hearing, Lisa Miller, Blake Bowlin’s grandmother, said Timothy Harmon was physically abusive toward her daughter and grandson.

The killing was the first in Warren County this year.

On the day of the shooting, Harmon was described by his brother, John Michael Harmon, as a hardworking man who enjoyed hunting and working on cars.
